Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ v2. Lifesupp
Hello, friends!
Yesterday I bought a new drive for my Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ v2.
Here is my disk configuration:
I changed disk No.2 (I wanted to replace 2TB with 4TB)
On a working system, I removed one of the previously installed ones and installed a new one. But the disk that I installed turned out to be faulty (it did not start, it seemed damaged during transportation). I tested it a little and after that I realized that this new disk is not suitable. I returned the disk that was installed earlier.
Unfortunately, by this time there was already a “lifesupp” error on the NAS screen.
Now I can’t open my files - the NAS can’t find the path...
Please give me some advice on how to recover data?
Perhaps experienced specialists can help me

Download the full log zip file, it might give some clues what happened.

Here is the full log zip file <redacted link>

Thanks. There is some privacy leakage when you post the log zip publicly - normally they are sent via private messages (PMs) using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page. So I took the liberty of redacting your link after I downloaded the zip.
It looks like two of your disks are out of sync - this can happen as a result of failed disks, or if the NAS is improperly shut down.
The array can be forcibly assembled using ssh - is that something you have used before?
Another option (probably safer) is to connect the disks to a Windows PC and then use R-linux for Windows to access the data. You'd need one or more suitable USB adapter/dock(s), and enough storage to offload the files.
